Display Menu: [Show partitions, disks, LVM-info, lists]

This will display an overview of the partitionable media.
For each disk a pseudo-graphical map will be shown, with each
partition or freespace area sized and colored according to its
real size and type of filesystem being used.
Some key information for each area will be shown inside each
partition or freespace area displayed.
Note that a 'disk' can be any partionable media supported by
DFSee, like physical disks, virtual-disks and others ...

Display a usage map for the currently selected disk or filesystem
A pseudo-graphical map of the disk or partition allocation is
displayed, showing the distribution of data over the object
This is also an indication for the amount of unused sectors in
the object, that are beneficial to 'SMART-SECTOR' optimizations
in imaging and cloning operations.
The percentage of used sectors are displayed as a percentage at
the end of the line, and a total usage percentage and size is
shown just after the map itself.
For filesystems that support resizing, the limits for resizing
are shown after the map itself.

Show (disk) geometry for currently opened object, including some status info

This will display the (disk) geometry currently used by DFSee
The geometry, as a Cylinder, Head and Sectors-per-track count
plus the size in a hexadecimal sectorcount and in MIB can be:
L-Geo, the logical geometry, used by DFSee for all its work
S-Geo, the system geometry, as reported by the operating system
only displayed when different from the logical geometry.
As with nmost commands, the display ends with a status overview of
the currently opened object in just two lines that show you what
type and size of object is opened, and what the current/next/prev
positions in that object are, shown as hexadecimal sectornumbers.

This is a form of the verbose partition list, that will include
a 'check' of the filesystem in every partition, if that is
supported in DFSee for the filesystem in question.
Note that this is similar in function to the familiar CHKDSK on,
Dos, Windows or OS/2 but is does checking only, there is NO writing
to the disk at all, and found errors will NOT be repaired!
Some of the reported errors can be fixed by using other 'FIX...'
commands available in DFSee, othere will have to be fixed by
other means, for example: 'CHKDSK /f'.

This will display details about the currently opened object(s), if any.
This will show some information about the object that has been opened
to work with it. This could be after an explicit 'Open ..' selection
from the 'File' menu, or an implicit open by some other command or menu
selection made previously.
The display show information kept for all open objects in the 'STORE'
administration that can hold information about three simultaniously
open objects (see 'STORE' command documentation).
Normally, only a single object will be opened, using the CURRENT store, but commands like 'CLONE' will use the second 'ALTERNATE' store as well
keeping information about the source of the clone ...

This will display a table showing the relationship between:
Disk-id The disk-id as used in many DFSee commands
DFSee-type Type of medium for DFSee, physical, virtual ...
disk number Real disk number, specific to the type of medium
Description The (Linux) device name for this disk device,
an Image filename and/or details on the medium
All entries in this table can be used as a 'disk' in the many
DFSee commands that deal with them, and these are also listed
in the default partition and MAP displays in DFSee.
Note that the 'Disk-id' is really a 'Partionable Medium Id',

This will display all partition-tables for the selected disk, starting
with the MBR for the PRIMARY partitions and the EXTENDED container.
When logicals are present, this is followed by walking the linked EBR
sectors that each define a single LOGICAL partition and the link to
the next one, if any.

Selection of this item leads to a dynamic created submenu, to select a disk to be used

This will display all partitioning related sectors for a partition,
the MBR or EBR sector, the bootsector (PBR) and LVM sectors, if any.
This is the quickest way to get all partitioning related information
displayed for one partition.
It uses the 'pt PID -r' command to show the partition-table entry
and all related sectors for the selected partition 'PID'.
To display this related sector(s) information for all partitions, use:
Display -> Other partition views -> Part sector(s) view
Note: If you have a partition, volume or device selected, and are NOT
in FDISK mode, this selection will switch to that automatically
invalidating your current selection!

Selection of this item leads to a dynamic created submenu, to select a partition to be used

This will display the 'next likely' sector on the current opened store
by using the 'next' value set by any previous display of a sector.
Displaying the 'next' sector (Ctrl+N) on an opened filesystem will
show the most interesting sectors like bootsector, superblocks etc.
In general, each display function will set this 'next' value to the
sector that is the most 'desirable' to be visited/displayed next.

This will display the 'up' sector on the current opened store
by using the 'up' value set by any previous display of a sector.
In general, each display function will set this 'up' value to a
sector that is related, and probably 'upwards' in the hierarchy
from the current sector.
As an example, when displaying an HPFS file FNODE, the 'up' will
take you to the directory FNODE of the directory holding the file.

This will display the related 'eXtra' sector on the current opened store
by using the 'xtra' value set by any previous display of a sector.
In general, each display function will set this 'xtra' value to a
sector that might be of interest.
As an example, when displaying a partition-table sector, the 'xtra'
will take you to the related LVM DLAT sector for that partition.

This will measure and display the I/O speed for a 10 second interval
The current objecty (disk, partition etc) will be Read and Written
to using the default or specified buffer size.
After completing the 10 second interval, or reaching the end of the
object, the througput will be displayed.
Because reading and directly writing the SAME area will have a very
high impact on performce (cache, head-movement), expect a Read/Write
throughput at least 10 times less than Read-only!

This will measure and display the I/O speed for a 10 second interval
using a relatively LARGE buffer, often faster than a small one.
The current objecty (disk, partition etc) will be read only,
using the same buffer size that is default for imaging, which
is 256 KiB for the DOS version, and 2 MiB for the other platforms
After completing the 10 second interval, or reaching the end of the
object, the throughput will be displayed.
